It also told that the some of the western Avari, dwelling in Eriador and the Anduin Vales, were friendly to the Eldar, and came to merge with the Wood-elves. These were Nelyarin Avari (Penni), from the third Clan (and therefore remotely akin to the Nandor and Sindar).[3][note 1]

In the early Third Age, the Silvan Elves of Lórien experienced an influx of Noldor (and Sindar) who had survived the fall of Eregion.[1]

Etymology
